Yes, it is. Because you do not ask a known liar if she committed a crime of betrayal and expect the truth. You look to see who is benefiting. If Cathy Brennan did not attempt YET AGAIN to harm Gallus Mag and GenderTrender, and all of us who fight for female only space and identity, then why doesn’t she stop the link to her own blog?

If you are invested in the truth and don’t want to be conned, you look to see the history of who appears to be guilty. If that person, Cathy Brennan, has a history of lying and betraying Radical Feminists, and attacking individuals with threats, insults, lies, etc. including exposing personal information that endangers feminists for the benefit of MRAs, then why would you contort your mind to make up excuses for her?

But the writer of this statement IS choosing to get in the middle to defend someone who has a history of harming Radical Feminists.

And why wouldn’t “Cathy bald-faced lie about it” when that is exactly what she has been doing all along?

Isn’t supporting trannies against Lesbians and other women, and playing both sides against the middle while claiming to be the leader of the movement against the trans cult “bald-faced” lying?

We need accountability in our movement. Hoping that someone who has clearly betrayed us in the past hasn’t done it again not only hurts the victim in the situation, but hurts all Radical Feminists.

Cathy Brennan’s mode of operation is extremely transparent. Who else benefits from this attempt to destroy/steal Gallus Mag’s name and reputation for their own? WHOSE BLOG DOES GALLUSMAG.COM LINK TO?

Of course Brennan won’t “crow” about it because that would ruin what she is trying to do, and is what she has been trying to do all along — which is to turn as many Radical Feminists against each other as possible. She pushes as much as she think she can get away with and enjoys the damage. That is why many believe she is a Narcissist/Sociopath. It is always all about her.

I remember a time in feminism when a woman who bragged about being wealthy and who hunted down poor women who had been sold pay day loans would not be trusted. But now getting rich off the poor gives instant status.

Our movement fights for women and women only space. Can you think of a single other woman who suddenly appears out of the genderqueer GBTQWTF culture (in August, 2011, documented here) and waffles about whether men can be women, threatens those who say that “men cannot become women,” targets longtime Radical Feminists activists and writers, and even supports her own male friend (Mr. Rahne Alexander) hidden in a Lesbian group while he ridicules Lesbians, AND GETS AWAY WITH IT?

The mistake here, the trick here, is the illusion that this woman who does us so much harm is “one of us.” That we have common “enemies.” Longtime Radical Feminists know that no one hurts our movement as deeply as those who pretend to be one of us.

Just like with men, try saying no to her, contradict her, dare to disagree, and see the result. Seriously

No more double standards that prevent justice. Why is the abuser more supported than her victims? Why is repeated abuse, lies, threats, etc. ignored? It is one thing to forgive when you are abused, but that does not give you the right to forgive others the abuser has abused.

So instead of defending the woman who is trying to steal/appropriate/destroy Gallus Mag’s work, why not defend Gallus Mag?

Cathy does “bald face lie” but usually in situations that target a particular individual or situation where she determines the object lacks the means (or interest) to disprove her.

But usually she doesn’t. Not publicly, not in writing. Not in situations where she determines her lie could be exposed, to her discredit.

Here’s how Cathy operates, if anyone cares. Heads will be nodding all over at this description. Cathy generally lies in a NON-bald-faced manner. She lies like a lawyer.

For example, after I asked Cathy to stop commenting here and stop reblogging my posts she ignored my requests. When she tried to comment here as “A Dyke” with a link to her own work I called her up and said “You know I can see your fucking IP, right?!?” I anticipated some sort of discussion about the matter of ignoring my boundaries but instead she replied “You can’t PROVE that.” I said “I see your IP right there- what the fuck? Are you actually denying it?” Her response: “You can’t prove that it was me- it could have been someone else with the same IP.” Yeah. Some random stranger with the same IP posting links to your work. Oh my.

Please note. She never stated that it WASN’T her. Au contraire.

THAT is how Cathy works.

For example- and the following are FICTIONAL examples, bearing no relation to any actual person or situation living or dead. Fictional. OK.

In a FICTIONAL situation where a woman who supports her might ask “Is it true you bought GallusMag.com and used it to re-direct searches to your own blog?”

Cathy in this FICTIONAL example might reply: “It’s interesting that you immediately assumed it was true”.

This puts the supporter on the defensive, defending her loyalty. “Oh gosh no, I didn’t assume- so sorry if it seemed that way”

Cathy (FICTIONALLY) : “I can’t believe how women are attacking me.”

Etc. Etc. Note how in this FICTIONAL example Cathy never actually confirms or denies the facts at hand. *MAGIC *

Another FICTIONAL example.

Woman: “Did you deliberately let the RadFemHub domain expire?”

Cathy might respond (in this FICTIONAL example) “I do not [currently] own RadFemHub”.

Or

“I’m to be blamed for all the things that go wrong in Radical Feminism”

Or

“I own all the things because I am out to destroy radical feminism (sarcasm)”

Once you know this about Cathy it’s super easy to see when she is lying. Except when she bald-face-lies. I’m not privy to the exact language CB used in creating the impression to the woman posted above [full disclosure- the woman quoted above has received MAJOR financial support from Cathy Brennan] that CB did not purchase the GallusMag.com domain and use it to redirect searches to her own work. But I am willing to bet that if examined, the denial lacked an actual bald-faced-lie.

It might have been something closer to (FICTIONAL EXAMPLE) “These women accuse me of everything, they are out to get me”.

See how that works?

If Cathy Brennan wants to publish a statement saying “I have never owned GallusMag.com nor was it ever by myself or under my direction used to re-direct to GenderIdentityWatch” I would be happy to publish it here. LOL. I would be happy to post a retraction. LMAO.
